increasing the front pressure causes the weight to transfer more rapidly and will increase front traction prior to rear traction when entering a turn. This increases oversteer.

However, once you have completed weight transefer and are motoring through the turn you have a reduced area front tire patch and therefor increased understeer.

I posted briefly on this earlier but here is a link as well.
